I don't really get it. But I suspect it's an american thing.
If you guys had ever seen a real live moose up close, you wouldn't be
laughing so much.:-)
To forestall the obvious replies, I _do_ know about Bullwinkle, it's just
that he doesn't dominate my concept of a moose.
Besides, what's wrong with a few laughs?

Well. sorta. The original owner of Man was Grandfather Mortal. OK, so Daka Fal is supposedly the reincarnated Gramps, but you can say something similar about most of the others too. I can't really recall anything about Spirit, but the Horned Man belongs to the shamanistic tradition anyway, not the theistic, so there's bound to be a muddle there.

Yes? Have I contradicted this?
Anyway, Sandy comes to my rescue:

So there! :-)
